ATASC can get $$ from Ralphs Stores – Need Your Help

Posted by atasc on March 21, 2010 at 22:54 pm

ralphscardRalphs Stores helps charitable organizations such as ATASC. You shop there and they contribute to ATASC. Here is what to do to benefit from this program.

1. Apply for a Ralph’s Card if you do not already have one. You can do it in the store -customer service desk – in 5 minutes. If you have one, find the 12 digit number at the back.

2. After you get home, link your card to ATASC

- Either call Card Hotline 1-800-660-9003, give them the 12 digit number at the back and tell them to link it to 91481.
- or get on the internet, register yourself with your card number and then go to community button on the left and when asked what volunteer organization, use number 91481.

3. After step 2, use the card for purchases. No need to do anything more. The electronics link them directly. Ralphs pays on a sliding scale of 1%-4% maximum.

This does not effect in any way what you pay for groceries to Ralphs. You still get all your Ralphs card incentives in full. This is an extra program from Ralphs’ own pocket. The money will be used to improve ATASC and Chapter activities; such as paying for rent, permits, insurance, etc.

ATATURK’s Corner

Ataturk dedicated 23 Nisan, the anniversary of the Turkish National Congress in 1920 to Children. His vision was:

FUTURE BELONGS TO AND IS PROTECTED BY FUTURE GENERATIONS.
He expressed it best when he addressed Turkish Youth:"

"O Turkish Youth! Your first and foremost duty is to defend and protect the Turkish independence and the Turkish Republic for all eternity. All the mighty strength that you will need exists in the noble blood a-flowing in your veins!."

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

ATASC SCHOOL IN IZMIT, TURKEY

ARSLANBEY ATA-SC OKULU On August 17, 1999, western Turkey was struck by a devastating magnitude-7.4 earthquake. Many thousands of people were killed, and many more made homeless by the quake that was centered near Izmit. Contributing to the rebuilding process, ATASC initiated an effort in February 2003 to build a new school for the children of Izmit. The school admitted its first class on September 13, 2004. ATASC still continues to support its namesake school.
Since 2006, ATASC sponsored 13 needy children, helped send 6 children to Space Camp Izmir, opened up a Computer Lab and a Science Lab. Most recently ATASC helped the school to open up a pre-school by furnishing four pre-school classrooms named for ATASC chapters. VATAN Chapter is currently in the process of furnishing a conference salon for the students of the elementary school.
